Delhi reflections

Phil Townsend — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:48:46 +0000

Here are some thoughts of members live from Delhi…

Here is a picture of us outside the clinic run by Asha in Anna Nagar, a slum colony in Delhi.

Josh Hoyland, James Chapman, Kate Fisher, Di Rogers, Chris Renshaw and Phil Townsend are all on a visit to Delhi. We arrived on Saturday 13th Feb and return to Sheffield on Monday 22nd. We are all staying in the YMCA in central Delhi and journing each day to Anna Nagar about 20 minutes drive away.

Kate says Namaste from Delhi! She has just been completing a mural in the Clinic that you can see on the right! With her are Mina and Nirmala who are workers in the Centre – Nirmala is the team Leader, and Mina is a Community Health Volunteer, and president of the Womens group, Mahila Mendal.

We have been painting the rooms of the clinic for the past 3 days and meeting up with local people both in the centre and also visiting their homes.

Asha is doing an amazing job helping the local community by educating them about health care and helping the young people to gain an education that will lead to qualifications and jobs that will enable them eventually to escape the pressure of life in the slums. 4.2 million people live in slums in Delhi out of 14 million, and 350,000 are under the care of Asha.

We are all enjoying our time here and it is opening our eyes to a totally different world. It is truly wonderful to see the difference that this Christian Charity is making to the lives of people here and we feel it is a prvilege to make a small contribution this week. On Saturday we will be visiting a slum where Asha has only just started.
